BREAKING: FG announces new date for student loan implementation
The Federal Government, FG, has set a new deadline for the implementation of the Access to Higher Education Act, often known as the Students Loan Law, which President Bola Tinubu just signed.
Many Nigerians have criticized the bill’s passage since it was signed into law in June, seeing it as a pretext for the implementation of tuition fees in the country’s postsecondary institutions.

Meanwhile, despite the opposition to its implementation, the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Education, Andrew Adejoh, revealed at the time that the implementation would commence in September.
The implementation has, however, not kicked off as announced by Mr Adejoh.
But speaking at the 29th National Economic Summit on Monday, Mr Tinubu said the loan programme “must commence” in January 2024.
